Usage: The Hebrew verb "qur" primarily means to dig or bore through something. It is often used in contexts where physical penetration or excavation is involved. The term can also imply a sense of piercing or making a hole, which can be both literal and metaphorical. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, digging was a common activity, whether for constructing wells, preparing land for agriculture, or creating defensive structures.

The metaphorical use of "qur" can also be seen in the context of spiritual or emotional penetration, reflecting the depth of inquiry or understanding.
